Nudell spent time on the economic development committee, the housing authority, and many years as a member of the Hettinger City Council. He was even mayor for a few months, filling in for someone who had left the position, though he didn’t seek re-election.

In the past few years, the North Dakota legislation has made some changes to assist rural healthcare facilities. Program Director Dr. Jeff Hostetter previously told the Record that rural healthcare has become a priority with the state. “Rural healthcare had become a priority of the Department of Health and Human Services because of the depopulation
